Tens of thousands of people are marching in Paris to protest against rising antisemitism in the wake of Israel’s ongoing war against Hamas in Gaza.

Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne, representatives of several parties on the left as well as far-right leader Marine Le Pen attended Sunday’s march in the French capital. President Emmanuel Macron did not attend, but expressed his support for the protest and called on citizens to rise up against “the unbearable resurgence of unbridled antisemitism”.

Paris authorities deployed 3,000 police troops along the route of the protest called by the leaders of the Senate and parliament’s lower house, the National Assembly, amid an alarming increase in anti-Jewish acts in France since the start of Israel’s war against Hamas after its Oct 7 surprise attack on Israel.

France has the largest Jewish population in Europe. French authorities have registered more than 1,000 acts against Jews around the country in the month since the conflict in the Middle East began.

Hamas has suspended hostage negotiations with Israel because of the IDF’s handling of the Al Shifa hospital, a Palestinian official briefed on the talks has told Reuters.

More to follow.

Emmanuel Macron has been forced into a groveling climbdown by Israeli president Isaac Herzog after he told the BBC there was “no justification” for Israel’s alleged bombing of “these babies, these ladies, these old people”.

Mr Macron has now called Mr Herzog and said he “does not and did not intend to accuse Israel of intentionally harming innocent civilians,” Mr Herzog’s office said in a statement.

“President Macron also emphasised that he unequivocally supports Israel’s right and duty to self-defence, and expressed his support for Israel’s war against Hamas,” it added.

Mr Herzog said Mr Macron’s comments had “caused much pain and upset in Israel”.

The United States has backed Israeli claims that Hamas is using hospitals for cover.

National security advisor Jake Sullivan told CBS that this is “a violation of the rules of war”.

He said: “Hamas is using hospitals as it uses many other civilian facilities, for command and control, for weapons storage, to house its fighters and this is a violation of the laws of war.”

Mr Sullivan said the US position was based on open-source information.

IDF fighter jets have launched a number of strikes against Hezbollah in retaliation for the terrorist group’s missile attack on northern Israel earlier today.

The jets hit the site in southern Lebanon where the anti-tank missile originated as well as two others where Hezbollah has launched mortars.

The IDF also said it had fired artillery shells in response to Hezbollah mortars that hit a border army base today.

Benjamin Netanyahu has accused Hamas of turning down fuel for the Al Shifa hospital.

The Israeli prime minister said the terrorist group refused to receive the supplies on Saturday evening.

“We just offered Shifa hospital the fuel, they refused it,” Netanyahu told NBC in remarks reported by Reuters.

“Hamas is hiding in the hospitals and placing itself there, doesn’t want the fuel for the hospital … they want to get fuel that they’ll take from the hospitals to their tunnels, to their war machine.”

He added: “We offered actually, last night, to give them enough fuel to operate the hospital, operate the incubators and so on, because we [have] no battle with patients or civilians at all.”

The IDF is yet to finalise its plans to evacuate babies from the Al Shifa hospital in Gaza City.

Lieutenant Colonel Richard Hecht told Sky News the operation was still being “developed”.

“We understand the timeliness of this and we are working very hard to try to coordinate this effort,” he said.

“There’ll be more information coming on that.

Mr Hecht said Israel was not targeting the hospital but instead “the terrorists hiding under it”.

“Our goal is not to take over hospitals. Our goal is to dismantle terrorist infrastructure,” he said.

The United States has held “active consultations” with the IDF about not catching civilians in the crossfire at hospitals, national security advisor Jake Sullivan has said.

“The United States does not want to see firefights in hospitals where innocent people, patients receiving medical care, are caught in the crossfire and we’ve had active consultations with the Israeli Defense Forces on this,” he told CBS.

IDF spokeswoman Libby Weiss earlier told the BBC World Service that it is not targeting civilians in Gaza and Hamas are using hospitals to protect themselves.

The Archbishop of Canterbury has condemned Israel’s “intolerable” bombardment of Gaza.

“It’s against international humanitarian law – it must stop and stop now,” he posted on X, formerly Twitter.

“The misuse of hospitals by Hamas does not justify attacks by Israel. Two wrongs don’t make a right. 

“The situation facing staff and patients in Gaza’s hospitals is catastrophic. Everything must be done to restore its healthcare system and protect those in desperate need.”

The IDF has advanced in northern Gaza by capturing what it called the “al Karameh area”, the Times of Israel has reported.

The area between Beit Hanoun and Jabaliya was taken by the Harel Reserve Brigade today.

The IDF says its soldiers killed several Hamas terrorists and destroyed long-range rocket launchers, anti-tank missile launch positions, tunnels and observation posts.

The Pope has called for “much more” humanitarian aid to be sent to Gaza.

Addressing crowds gathered in St Peter’s Square in the Vatican City, Francis said Hamas must free its hostages, civilians must be protected and the wounded cared for.

“I am close to all those who suffer, Palestinians and Israelis,” he said, adding that he was praying for them.

Francis, 86, has already called for the creation of humanitarian corridors and has said only a two-state solution can end the conflict.

The Al Ahli hospital in Gaza City has run out of blood to treat injured patients.

“We don’t have a blood bank at Al-Ahli Hospital, and now our blood supply has run out,” said Dr Fadel Naim, its head of orthopaedic surgery.

“This poses a significant threat to the lives of the wounded, as we are conducting surgeries without any blood units to compensate for the bleeding they are experiencing.”

The Anglican-run Al Ahli hospital in Gaza City has become the only fully operational hospital left in northern Gaza.

Richard Sewell, Dean of St George’s College, Jerusalem, said it is in “crisis mode” and “overwhelmed” with the injured and dying.

“We have just received news that our Al Ahli hospital in Gaza City is the only hospital in the northern zone able to fully operate,” he said.

“So our staff are overwhelmed with treating the injured and dying.

“Ahli not a general hospital but now has to work as one and it’s in crisis mode.”

A UN peacekeeper was shot overnight in southern Lebanon near the Israeli border.

The peacekeeper is in a stable condition after having surgery but the source of the gunfire is unknown, the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) said in a statement.

“Attacks against civilians or UN personnel are violations of international law that may amount to war crimes,” it said.

Hezbollah has claimed responsibility for the anti-tank missile attack in northern Gaza that injured at least four civilians earlier today.

The Iran-backed, Lebanon-based terror group claimed it hit soldiers installing surveillance equipment.

The Israel Electric Corporation has said some of its workers were injured in the attack as they repaired power lines damaged in previous attacks from Lebanon.

The Rafah border crossing has reopened, Reuters has reported.

The news agency believes several injured Palestinians and 80 foreign nationals and dependents have crossed from Palestine into Egypt.

Rafah, which is the only open Palestinian border crossing, suspended evacuations from Palestine on Friday after issues transporting injured Palestinians from northern Gaza.

Shortly after Hezbollah Chief Hassan Nasrallah addressed Lebanon yesterday, the Israeli defence minister Yoav Gallant threatened to put Beirut under siege, reports Abbie Cheeseman from Beirut.

He maintained that the Lebanese front will remain a “support front” for now.

“What we are doing in Gaza we know how to do in Beirut,” Gallant said. “Our pilots are sitting in the cockpit, the noses of the planes are pointing north. We have enough to do in the south, but the Air Force is facing north and its power is very great.”

Earlier in the day they hit 28 miles into Lebanon, the deepest attack yet.

Hezbollah and Israel have been engaged in an escalating daily fight over the Lebanese border since October 8. While both sides have shown dedication to not entering another all-out war, the game of deterrence has reached severely dangerous heights.

The IDF has said several Israeli civilians have been injured by anti-tank guided missiles fired from Lebanon, Abbie Cheeseman reports from Beirut.

The missiles hit a number of civilian vehicles near the northern community of Dovev, close to the Lebanese border.

Videos purporting to be from the scene showed a number of cars ablaze.

Israeli emergency services said one person is in a critical condition and between three and five others are seriously injured.

While the fight between Israel and Hezbollah, as well as Palestinian factions who are firing from Lebanon, has mostly stayed confined within agreed rules of engagement, both sides have warned that escalation could come if civilians are targeted.

Israel is responding with artillery fire.

Israel has agreed a $339million (£277million) deal with Finland for its David’s Sling anti-missile system, its defence ministry has said.

The system has been operational since 2017 and can intercept ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, aircraft and drones.

Finland will become the first country other than Israel to use the system, having joined Nato in April.

The IDF has opened an evacuation corridor from the Al Shifa hospital for civilians and ambulances, Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari, its chief spokesperson, has said.

“IDF soldiers opened and secured a passage which enables the civilian population to evacuate, on foot and by ambulances, from the Shifa, Rantisi and Nasser hospitals,” he said.

“The Hamas terrorist organization continues to use civilian structures in the Gaza Strip, including hospitals, for its terrorist activity.”

He posted a map on social media directing evacuees to flee down Al-Wahda Street.

Israel’s president Isaac Herzog has denied that the Al Shifa hospital in Gaza City has no power.

“That is not true,” he told the BBC’s Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg programme.

“There is a lot of spin by Hamas. There is electricity in Shifa, everything is operating.”

President Herzog added that the IDF is in touch with managers at the hospital and repeated Israel’s claim that Hamas has its headquarters beneath the building.

The Al-Quds hospital in Gaza City is “no longer operational” after running out of fuel and power, the Palestine Red Crescent Society has said.

The aid agency blamed the “ongoing Israeli bombardment” and “targeted sieging and deprivation of aid to hospitals”.

It said doctors were “making every effort” to continue treating patients.

“The Palestine Red Crescent Society holds the international community and signatories of the Fourth Geneva Convention accountable for the complete breakdown of the health system and the resulting dire humanitarian conditions,” it added.

A copy of Mein Kampf was found on the body of a Hamas terrorist killed in northern Gaza.

Isaac Herzog, Israel’s president, held up the book live on air in an interview on the BBC’s Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg programme.

The Arabic translation of Adolf Hitler’s autobiographical manifesto was highlighted and dotted with post-it notes, suggesting the reader had been studying the book.

“The terrorist wrote notes, marked the sections, and studied again and again, Adolf Hitler’s ideology to hate the Jews, to kill the Jews, to burn and slaughter Jews wherever they are. This is the real war we are facing,” Herzog said.

The cardiac ward of the Al Shifa hospital in Gaza City has been destroyed by an Israeli strike, a Hamas health official has said.

“The occupier completely destroyed the cardiac department of Al-Shifa hospital… The two-storey building has been completely destroyed in an air strike,” Youssef Abu Rish, deputy health minister in the Hamas-run Gaza Strip, told AFP.

The news agency is reporting that witnesses have confirmed the blast.

An Israeli strike on a house in Gaza has killed 13 Palestinians, the Hamas-led health ministry has claimed.

The ministry said the attack took place in the city of Khan Younis in the south of the Gaza Strip.

“The ground was shaking underneath their feet before the explosion took place and destroyed the building,” Al Jazeera reports a family member who survived the attack saying.

The IDF is yet to comment.

Israeli soldiers who were evacuating civilians in Al Shati in northern Gaza were fired on by terrorists, the IDF has said.

In a statement posted on Telegram, it said: “During one of the battles with the terrorists, IDF troops identified civilians who were located in a building in the area.

“The IDF secured an evacuation route for the civilians, and as the civilians were evacuating, terrorists fired at the troops from the outskirts of the area.

“In order to protect the evacuation route, IDF troops responded with light weapons fire and tanks to kill the terrorists.”

The IDF has been conducting operations in Al Shati, a coastal refugee camp, in recent days to clear it of Hamas terrorists.

Israel’s finance minister Bezalel Smotrich has been accused of “harming the war effort” by continuing to fund West Bank settlers and ultra-orthodox Haredi schools.

Yair Lapid, the leader of the opposition, said the hard-Right former settler activist is using “Israeli citizens’ money to practice petty politics during wartime”.

“While IDF soldiers are risking their lives, Finance Minister Smotrich is harming the war effort, harming national resilience, harming Israeli society,” Mr Lapid wrote on X, formerly Twitter.

“He is not interested in anything except the ‘base’.

“A normal finance minister would now insist on closing at least five unnecessary government offices, canceling all coalition funds, and transferring the money to war expenses, aid to evacuees and aid to businesses.”

IDF soldiers have uncovered a dump of weapons, ammunition and explosives at a nursery in northern Gaza, it said early on Saturday.

The Israeli armed forces posted a video on social media showing a soldier from the 551st Brigade showing off the finds.

“On top of the closet and under the bed that we turned over, we found two very large explosive charge blocks, a shaped charge that is attached to a tank, as well as two sacks full of ammunition,” says the soldier, who’s name and rank was not given.

There are more humanitarian pauses underway in northern Gaza today as Israel continues to encourage civilians to evacuate to the south.

The Gaza Strip’s main highway, the Salah al-Din road, opened at 9am local time (7am GMT) and will close at 4pm (2pm GMT), the IDF’s Arabic spokesperson Avichay Adraee said.

There is also a “temporary tactical cessation of military activities for humanitarian purposes” from 10am (8am GMT) until 2pm (12pm GMT) in the villages of Jabalia and Ezbet Mlin.

Mr Adraee also asked Palestinians to call a phone number if Hamas prevents them moving south.

The World Health Organisation (WHO) has lost contact with the Al Shifa hospital in Gaza City.

Tedros Ghebreyesus, its director-general, said the news was “frightening” and he was “gravely concerned” about the situation.

“WHO is gravely concerned about the safety of health workers, hundreds of sick and injured patients, including babies on life support, and displaced people who remain inside the hospital,” he said.

“WHO again calls for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire in Gaza as the only way to save lives and reduce the horrific levels of suffering.”

The WHO added: “We assume our contacts joined tens of thousands of displaced people and are fleeing the area.”

A surgeon at the Al Shifa hospital has said it can “hardly treat” any patients because of  “continuous airstrikes”.

“We can hardly treat the patients within the hospital and are in the middle of the war zone,” Ahmed al-Mokhallalati told Al Jazeera.

“There are continuous airstrikes and the drones are hovering within the hospital area.”

He added: “The Israelis also called the hospital director the day before yesterday ordering us to evacuate

“He asked them to help arrange a way to evacuate the patients. They didn’t have a plan.”

Heavy fighting is raging near the Al Shifa hospital in Gaza City this morning after airstrikes and shelling struck the area overnight.

Israel has accused Hamas of concealing a command post under the hospital, which Hamas and hospital staff have denied.

“We spent the night in panic waiting for their arrival,” Ahmed al-Boursh, a resident taking shelter in the hospital, told AP.

“They [the IDF] are outside, not far from the gates.”

It is day 37 of the conflict.
